Ok I finally made up my mind and I decided I am going to buy a Nintendo Wii.  After some research on Soft Modding with the Twilight Princess hack I have decided that only stupid people who dont pay attention to the guidelines brick there Wii.  So for reference to any of you interested in modding your Wii to play backups do not update your Wii to 3.1 or above 3.0 is the best platform.  I am sure they will update it to be able to run on the newer platforms but as of right now that is where it stands.  Most of my research was taken from http://wiibrew.org/wiki/.  There are also many ways to recover from a brick especially with the twilight princess hack.  You just cant play with the boot.dol is all and you should be fine really.  Lets at least hope…………………
